And Yooper we're not treading water. We're treading water only during the FA period, while so many other GMs are drowning. You dont have to out run the bear; you only have to out run the person your with.

We don't just have to outrun the bear in our own division, we have to out run ALL the bears in the NFL.
If you don't make serious upgrades in our team, we won't be able to do that.
Free agency is a chance to do that. Other teams have proven to do that in free agency. We could to, if Ted gets off his wallet and proves that winning another super bowl is the goal. Not just the "bottom line" as far as making money.
The clock is ticking on Aaron Rodgers. The chances of us getting a third HOF QB is almost impossible to do. So NOW is the time to go for it!
